The Overnight Guest
By Heather Gudenkauf
Thriller, Mystery, Suspense, crime fiction, Psychological Fiction
Thriller “snowed in” type of book that I was craving since we didn’t have any snow. Some things I figured near the end, but this was still a good story.
It’s about a true-crime writer staying in a small town to write a book, and she finds a small child outside.
The Family Game

PREVIOUS BOOK CLUB BOOK
Forgot I had read this before, but nothing else was available on my list. Didn’t remember the end (was good!), or the events until I was reading it. I liked the main character- boyfriend, not so much. It’s about a writer who is engaged to a rich guy, with a super rich family who realllly likes games. Biggest game is a psychological one that the writer has to figure out.
Great Outdoors
By Amy McCulloch
Fiction, Crime Mystery, Thriller
Wasn’t my normal subject to read (about mountain climbers). Was pretty good and though I had an idea of how it would end, what they went through was interesting. A woman gets a big break to interview a famous climber, but she has to complete the hike before getting it, which is difficult because hikers keep dying.
